12 words or less? Probably not. I can write a story using the same twelve words though. It'll be a book for babies or toddlers.
No, I'm not going to do it now.

That's a hard thing to do! I once entered a contest where you could only have ten words, including the title. I wrote a few attempts, but what I figured out is that you really want to focus on action and packing the tension in those words. Verbs helped a lot to use, since they show action, and I figured out that if you use common situations, you can work off readers' assumptions as well.

The boy found a dollar. He bought some candy with it.
It needs to be like that saying about pictures. If a picture is worth a thousand words, than then words must be worth a thousand images.

Dragon kidnaps princess. Knight rescues princes for reward. All three split profit.
